"I thought it was unbelievable", she said.

The 2018 Boston Marathon will be remembered for bad weather and terrific, inspiring stories. "I am hoping someone comes forward to carry the torch".

"It was a little bit surreal when I was passing some of the bigger names in the race ..." It really made the race a lot of fun. "The city does an unbelievable job of supporting the runners and the atmosphere is truly unique". Boston was the second marathon of her life. "I'm so happy I became an endurance runner and that I did this race", he says. "The last four miles were the toughest; when we got to Boston, the wind was really tough". "I loved it. I ran the quarter mile".

To be fair though, she did run at Nebraska Wesleyan University.

Schroeder said she wore a clear trash bag over her poncho, which kept her hands warm as well: "It saved me".

She now is attending physical therapy school at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri.

Five years ago, the mother of two, who weathered the tough conditions of the marathon, was diagnosed with cancer thrice and won. I pretty much climbed Heartbreak Hill without realizing I had done it.

Brazeau ran with the support of his family as his wife and daughter sat in the rain to cheer him on. "First of all joy, throughout the whole race I just wanted to have a positive attitude". She says that she has broken eight minutes for a beer mile. "I didn't expect that many for the weather that was going on so that was really something". He also found out several days before the marathon that he has qualified for the 2019 Boston Marathon as well, which Holmes said is another huge accomplishment.

All of the participants in Monday's event had to fearless high winds, steady rain and bitterly cold temperatures while running the 42.2-kilometre marathon. Despite being under the standard time, only a certain amount of runners are accepted due to field size restrictions.

Claus, 53, finished Monday 3:48:43, just 21 seconds slower than her 3:48:22 finish in 2016. I was nervous about that. "This race is like something I've always dreamed of doing and I'm so thankful to everybody that donated money to Dana-Farber because that place saved my life", she told a local station. "I think it's cool to show that sometimes, you can have a great day and things can pay off". "I was so cold I didn't know if I still had my shorts on; I couldn't feel my legs". But the spectators, he said, "were absolutely incredible, all ages from babies to elderly, and they were there from Hopkinton all the way to the finish line". From there, Price stuck to his regular running schedule to prepare for the April race.

Desgagne said she'll be wearing the orthopedic boot for six weeks.

She traveled to Boston with her husband, Don, and their 13-year-old son, Claydon.

"In my mind I was going to do it no matter what", she said.

"Probably 2011 is what put the fear in me", Linden said.

Chantal Desgagne, who was fighting a stress fracture in her foot, and had stepped out of an orthopedic boot to compete, completed 6½ miles of the course.

She wants to qualify again.

"This one was even more wonderful", she said. That was more than four minutes better than second-place finisher Sarah Sellers but the slowest time for a women's victor in Boston since 1978.
